Lines, Rays & Angles
Draw and identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines; identify these in two-dimensional figures
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Lines, Rays & Angles means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Paper shapes or a ruler and pencil
- Shape name cards
Extra for the adult
Worked example. A rectangle has four right angles. Naming the property is the check.
Optional challenge. For Lines, Rays & Angles, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Lines, Rays & Angles, not mastery.

The Geometry of Letters
Before you open · source notes
Letter shapes prompt naming points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles. This is attribute naming, not every compass construction.
Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.
Before you openAsk the learner to point to a line segment, a ray, or an angle in one letter drawing.

Source, access and review notes
Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-11 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding
- Draw a pair of perpendicular lines and a pair of parallel lines
- Identify all pairs of parallel sides in a trapezoid
- Mark a right angle, an acute angle, and an obtuse angle in a given figure
“If your child is given a piece of paper and a ruler, can they draw a line segment, mark a point, and then draw another line through that point that runs perfectly parallel to the first?”
